Punch 9 for Harold Washington. by Winston, Joe,film director.; Jackson, Jesse,actor.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Jesse JacksonOriginally produced by Video Project in 2021.Barack Obama moved to Chicago in 1985, in part, because of a man he'd never met: Harold Washington. The first black mayor of a major U.S. city, Washington created a broad coalition across America's most segregated metropolis on an inclusive platform whose progressive values are still being championed today. Following the 20 year reign of Richard J. Daley, Chicagoans appeared fed up with the machine politics that had defined their city in the national imagination. After a promising but ultimately disappointing term from Jane Byrne, the city's first female mayor, the city's Black leaders recruited Washington to mount an effort to unseat her. In one of the dirtiest political campaigns in American history, in a city rife with corruption and discrimination, Harold Washington took on the deeply-entrenched machine, and a shameful realignment of the city's White democrats with the Republican candidate, to become the 51st mayor of Chicago.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Tom Clancy command and control / by Cameron, Marc,author.; Clancy, Tom,1947-2013,creator.;
"For a century, the Panama Canal has served as the path between the seas. Control of this vital waterway is the difference between free trade and chaos in world markets.

President Ryan and his Secret Service team are cut off and out of communication. In Washington, the Vice President is coordinating a military response, but there's still one more obstacle. One of the main forces behind the coup is the ruthless criminal organization known as the Camarilla. They've had their tentacles deep inside the plot to overthrow the government. All of their hard work has just presented them with an unexpected opportunity they can't resist - the chance to kill President Jack Ryan"--

Anthem : Rush in the '70s / by Popoff, Martin,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The definitive biography of the rock 'n' roll kings of the North. With extensive, first-hand reflections from Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, as well as from family, friends, and fellow musicians, Anthem: Rush in the '70s is a detailed portrait of Canada's greatest rock ambassadors. The first of three volumes, Anthem puts the band's catalog, from their self-titled debut to 1978's Hemispheres (the next volume resumes with the release of Permanent Waves) into both Canadian and general pop culture context, and presents the trio of quintessentially dependable, courteous Canucks as generators of incendiary, groundbreaking rock 'n' roll. Fighting complacency, provoking thought, and often enraging critics, Rush has been at war with the music industry since 1974, when they were first dismissed as the Led Zeppelin of the north. Anthem, like each volume in this series, celebrates the perseverance of Geddy, Alex, and Neil: three men who maintained their values while operating from a Canadian base, throughout lean years, personal tragedies, and the band's eventual worldwide success."--Provided by publisher.
